5. Moshi iVisor Anti Glare Screen Protector
Most smartphone displays really aren’t ideal for viewing in bright sunlight, and they’ll eat up a lot of battery when you turn up the brightness to compensate. A nice way to get an easily readable smartphone display and save your battery is to apply an anti-glare screen protector. There are plenty available for all kinds of phones, but this option for the Galaxy S4 is nice because it’s easy to apply and remove as necessary, and will protect your screen from scratches and knocks too.
4. XMI X-Mini Speaker
Being at a festival is all about enjoying the music with your friends and strangers, so what better accessory than a portable speaker to play your own tunes during downtime? This XMI Mini Speaker is lightweight, sounds much better than your smartphone’s speaker and isn’t expensive enough that you’d be gutted if you lost it. It connects over 3.5 mm stereo cable too, ensuring limited power isn’t wasted on Bluetooth communications.
3. Griffin Survivor Case
Between the mud, the rain and the throngs of people, it’s easy to end up with a smashed or dirty phone when you’re at a festival. A good protective case will do wonders here, particularly when it includes a tight seal against the elements.
One excellent example for the iPhone is the Griffin Survivor, which offers both impressive protection against knocks, drops and scratches as well as resisting any kind of damage from water, rain or mud. Good alternatives exist for Android phones as well – like the Otterbox Defender or Trident Aegis.
2. Plantronics BackBeat 216 Stereo Headphones with Mic
Festivals are not known as being great places for making phone calls, but with the right pair of headphones they can be. These Plantronics BackBeat 216 headphones offer excellent noise cancellation capabilities, ensuring it’s easy for you to hear the person on the other end of the line and for them to hear you. While you can spend more to get even more capable headphones, these Plantronics headphones are a capable middle ground.
1. Kit: High Power 10400 mAh Dual USB Emergency Charger
The one thing you really want to avoid in a place with thousands of people and few plug sockets is running out of power. It can make finding your friends a real drag, so don’t get caught out! The ideal solution is a nice and capacious emergency charger, letting you recharge your phones and other gadgets no matter where you are.
The Kit: High Power Dual USB Emergency Charger is a great option, giving you enough power to charge most smartphones five times over. It’s small too, making it easy to pack into your bag until you need it. Finally, it even has dual USB ports so you can charge two phones at once, and it’s compatible with iPhones, Android phones, Windows Phones and BlackBerries.
To celebrate the start of the festival season, we’re running a promotion on the Kit: High Power right now. Just use code POWERFEST to get £5 off this awesome portable charger. That code’s good until the end of July, so remember to use it before then!
